ages to Kill Time.
At Sandringham the Prince break
fasts with his wife and daughters, but
at Marlborough House his habits are
less regular, and as often as not his
first meal consists of sardine on toast
with cup of coffee. This ''small and
early" is partaken of in the ARREST of
costumes before the dressing room
fire, and during its progress his Royal
Highness sorts and reads his letters.
The next business-always an import
ant item with the Prince of Wales
is the choice of the suit of clothes he
means to wear, and the selection is to
him q matter of much care. 1t de-
ponds, of course, on the programme
for the day. If his diary tells him
that he has to open hospital or at

professors, or run down to Windsor to

latest thing in wonderful chessboard
checks is called for, but whatever suit
is offered to him the Prince is sure to
reject it if it has been worn FIVE times
before. His Royal Highness never
wears q pair of trousers more than six
times.
AS soon as he is arrayed in purple
and fine linen, the Prince has Sir
Francis Knollys In, and over the first
cigar of the day, instruets him as to
the proper treatment of the pile of
opened letters. Then he makes his
way to his wife's morning r DOM, where
he is sure to find the Princess in the
daintiest of morning toilets, hard at
work upon "crewels," with two of her
daughters making wonderful garments
for the Sandringham poor, while the
third little maid IS reading aloud either
from the Times or Morning Post. The
papers and the crewel work are both
laid aside when the Prince enters, and
when his youngest daughter has
brought him the weight-carryingest
chair in the room half an hours chat
follows. During the season this is all
the home life the Marlborough House
people have together. Unless he has
a dinner party at home, or some func-
ton to attend which entails the pres
ence Of his wife and daughters, the
Prince sees them no more till next

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS.
AS A BOY.

"When was boy" the grandsire said
To the bright lad by his knee,
"Of the victors crowned with fame read,
Who triumphed on land and seal
And through the years, from the deathless
page,
A summons has sounded long;
To youth, and manhood, and hoary age,
The message is this: BE strongl'
"When was boy" he paused and said
To the listener by his knee
"Of the men who were as lights read
In dark worlds history
Theyprized the truth and were loved of God,
And no fear of man they knew:
And STILL from the glorious heights they trod,
The message was this: BE truer"
-QuiUer.

The Forum prints a paper written by
}. Randolph Tucker on the evils of indi.
rect taxation. The burden of the thought
il contains is that AS money gravitates di-
rectly TO power and A. power begels a
love for money. those in power need Il
close watch always, and when the rev
emu is raised in a way which causes
the people to fail to realize the burden,
they grow careless in their watch, and the
steady tendency is to cxtravagance and
Capitalization. The writer contrasts the
difference in the way revenue is raised
to meet the expenses of the federal gov.
and in the separate states, and
asserts that while the amount raised by
the federal governucnqis the same that is
raised by the different states, that of the
government il raised by indirect taxation,
and the people not realizing the burden
do not complain. while the state revenues,
being mostly raised by n direct tax the
people who pay the taxes, feeling the
constant burden, are more e~xaciing in
their demand for the s%trictest economy
and prudence.
